Scenery of Sognefjord

Day 1  Bergen        
Arrive into Bergen, the gateway city to the fjords. Collect your car and make your way to your hotel. Set off and explore this walkable city, passing the bustling harbourfront famed for its historical fish market. In the evening take the funicular up Mount Floibanen for wonderful sunsets.

Day 2  Bergen to Sognefjord      
Just outside the city centre, enjoy a stop at the reconstructed Fantoft Stave Church and admire its intricate wooden carvings, before continuing toward the Norway’s deepest fjord, Sognefjord. Savour spectacular views as you wind along the fjords edge to your hotel in the small town of Balestrand.

Days 3-4  Sognefjord  
Over the next few days discover the wonderful Sognefjord region. Your base in Balestrand gives you easy access to a range of activities such as rib safaris, glacier hikes and kayaking trips. Maybe choose to hire a bike or enjoy an incredible hike in the mountains. By car explore further afield to the Flam Railway, seek out enchanting waterfalls, marvel at medieval stave churches or perhaps visit the charming book town of Fjaerland. Back in Balestrand, pay a visit to St Olaf Church which was used as inspiration for the film Frozen. After a day exploring perhaps unwind at one of the floating fjord saunas and soak up the views.

Days 5-6  Sognefjord to Bergen  
After a wonderful time in the fjords, return to Bergen for a final night before heading to the airport for your onward journey.
